Classpect Analysis

You want your own theme music? Something for your next TV show, movie, short film, D&D campaign gone on for too long, or just want to hear every time the word “dead” is used in a goth album? I’ve got years of experience and love making music, and I’d be more than happy to write you original music, mix and master your next album, or even make you a musical meme for your very own use.

I decided to look into it, mainly because I was annoyed with my results. (Hope. I’ve never seen myself as Hope.)

“Looking into it” started with figuring out which questions coincide with which aspects. (Aspects are definitely paired, by the way. This quiz just confirms that beyond a reasonable doubt.) From there, things got ridiculous and I’m just going to put all of this underneath a cut. 

Feel free to disregard it

Classpects have always been a very personal, fandom made thing

A ~canon~ test holds about as much weight as any other classpect quiz

As a conclusion to my “Finding Your Title” event, I’ve gathered all Part 1 responses from classpect blogs and attempted to summarize their information in a single post.

According to several classpect blogs, nearly all criteria in determining one’s class and aspect are encompassed by the following 8 questions.  Descriptions of how specific classpect blogs utilize these questions are included under each specific question, after the cut.

My end goal for this event was to guide fans with classpect interest but little expertise in determining their own titles.  At the very least, answering these questions may be useful information for any classpect blogs you ask for assistance in determining your title.  Blogs currently accepting classpect inquiries (as of January 2017) are listed at the bottom of this post.

I hope this helps you find your title!

Aspect questions:

Which aspect(s) are you drawn to?

What drives you? What motivates you?

How do you view the world?

Which aspect matches your personality?

Class questions:

How do you relate to your aspect?

What is your role / archetype / character arc?

What do you struggle with?

Which class matches your personality?

Hello, fellow classpect blogs!  I’m interested in learning about the different strategies used to determine god tier titles.  Ideally this could provide advice for people finding their own titles.  However, it will still be informative to understand how you view and assign the classes and aspects!  

Specifically, I’m looking for the process you use in assigning god tier titles to real people whom you communicate with, whether IRL or through the magic of the internet.  This communication can be “what classpect am I?”-type asks, private conversations through instant messaging, a personality quiz that you created (or want to create), etc.

(Classpect fans who want to write about finding their own title: see Part 2.)

What I would like to know is: How do you assign god tier titles to others?

My process is pretty straightforward. First I ask about aspect. The easiest way I’ve found to do this is to ask the person what gets them up in the morning and what they view the universe as being (fundamentally good, evil, indifferent, ordered, etc). Through the wide range of answers I can get, I can usually narrow it down to a few through a matter of the optimistic vs pessimistic and internalized vs externalized axes. Even if I’m still left with a few different options after clarifying questions, I generally move on to class. I generally ask for a brief summary of their personality and their story arc. Who they are, how they’ve grown, and how they need to grow. For me, that defines class, as it is your role in the story. Class is a lot easier to pin down in this way, as it tends to have a lot of similarities. Thieves tend to act at least somewhat similarly to other Thieves, for the most extreme example, so they’re not hard to pin down. So to summarize, class is about your archetype, while aspect is about your spark. 

Both combined can make a story.

Warning: It’s going to be a long read.

So I have noticed when classpecting characters that I have a difficult time figuring out which of the six pairs of the aspect duality they fall under. Example. I cannot identify between a Heart and a Hope player because of the general openness they have towards others, or a Mind or a Void player because they deal with obscuring some aspect whether it be intentions or information. Thankfully, there is a subtle difference to what they focus on. This is the main reason why I have not done this blog for a year because identifying the aspect is what takes the longest and is also to explain exactly.

When I came back to classpecting, it got a little easier for me as I tried to allot the focuses of each aspect and soon realized that each dualities share a certain factor of reality.

Here, I will begin to explain key words to use for the duality pair and how it makes sense to me.

After 4 years in development, hopefully it has been worth the wait. I first started a guide like this many years ago on a different blog. Since Homestuck has recently ended, I now have more information on aspects and classes than I did back then. I’m ready to try this again. *Cracks knuckles.*
